This is a cartoon I made recently. I like it, and it was my first rejection (and submission) to the New Yorker, who kindly wrote me back a tiny note saying (paraphrasing here) “no, and by the way usually people send self-addressed stamped envelopes so we can reject them more cheaply.” I felt so encouraged that they opted to shell out the dollar-ish amount (between tiny stationary, envelope and postage) to let me know instead of just tossing it.
